The original ‘Happy Meal’ contains one burger or nugget offering, one set of small fries, and a small drink. The ‘Pokémon Happy Meal’ will contain a four-card booster pack, an instruction sheet, a coin, a spinner, and a card box, as confirmed by The Pokémon Company on Twitter.
The ‘Pokémon Happy Meal’ has been around since 2012 and offers consumers a fun incentive when purchasing kid’s meals, as children often want to collect every figurine in the collection. The ‘Pokémon Happy Meal’ will be available at US McDonald's locations until mid-September.
